No doubt that Copenhagen is worth a trip. Not only that the Nordic metropolis has its own charm. The Nordic-Loss Spirit is also noticeable at the Messe Ciff, fashion, shoes and accessories-and contagious.
The fair extends over five halls and covers the segments “Contemporary Womenswear”, “Menswear”, “Classic Womenswear” and “Kids”. The Ciff Village, which is on the upper floors of the Bella Center, is also connected with numerous showrooms of international shoe and fashion brands.
In the halls, the mix of shoes, fashion and accessories convinces. “We are glad that there is no separate shoe hall, but the buyers can look at all segments next to each other when visiting the fair,” says Nick Sogaard from the Danish shoe provider Bukele.
Some German companies are also at the start in Copenhagen, including Lloyd with a new brand appearance, Sioux, Jana Shoes and Peter Kaiser.
With regard to the fashion trends, it shows that it remains relaxed, casual and natural. There is a lot of rope in the collections, as well as fur and fake fur in various “flushing classes” and colors. Leoprints, but also zebra, remain important. All in all, the natural color spectrum between dark brown and vanilla as well as off-white to olive-both in the women’s and men’s fashion.
There are three trends in the shoes: Nordic with thick-lined Cosy boots, British with loafers and college shoes as well as double monks and full brogue adaptations, and alpine with mountaineering bonds such as agricultural lacing and profiled floors.
The audience in Copenhagen is quite international, with the Scandinavian countries dominate. But there are also many German dealers from the fashion segment on site. Some exhibitors report increasing visitors from southern Europe, especially Italy and Spain.
It is well discussed that the ciff 2023 took over the Revolver fashion fair and thus implemented a bundled appearance. The massout of the fair, which is revised again, which exists at open stands and lots of space for communication and networks, is also well received.
